Provide them with love and tenderness. Show courage rather than sadness. Lift up their hopes by making them feel like a person rather than a doctor's paycheck. Flowers and cards are lovely, but can be too much sometimes. Depending on the situation, see if there house needs tending to, or any other ways you can take their place with tasks they are unable to accomplish.

i think that people who are diagnosed with cancer go through a lot of mental stress and be being there for them is the best way to help , try to support them through their journey , be positive around them as positivity is contagious

I use support them! Treat them like any normal human being! They are going through a massive change in their life they just need some normality and not to be treated like a patient!

Unless you find the cure for cancer you can't cure them but if you want to help them all you need to do is one simple thing, show them you care. Cancer is life threatening disease, you never know if it's your last day. If you want to help people with cancer you should be there for them, whether it's hanging out for 5 minutes or doing an activity (such as drawing or watching tv) showing them you care is one of the most important ways you can help.

You can donate to them, visit them in hospitals and maybe get them a treat or a gift, the only way to help them is by praying for them and making them smile:) because chemo is bery tough, and they need energy and by making them happy your giving them positive energy

Be available to talk and offer support. Show love. Show compassion. Listen to their feelings. Fundraise.

You can help people with cancer in different ways. Treating them normally is a great way. Ask them what it is you can do. Ask them how thier illness impacts thier life. Have a coffee with them. Just be there for them. Take them to hospital appointments. Give them a phone call. Give them a hug. Make them laugh. Enjoy them and make nice memories as this is a traumatic time for all involved. Remember like every experience there is no right or wrong way.
